A/N: Glad everyone has been enjoying this. Well, here's another chapter! I'm going to do just this one chapter for now in this form. To give you a general idea, I am going to show the family's reactions to their son or daughter's death. I might do some other things too. I just think that this would be interesting, to see what everything is thinking. Ok I'll shut up now. ENJOY! :D
Trina POV
I watched the screen nervously as Tori ran through the woods, that girl Katniss's bow in her hands. I knew another tribute could come bounding through the forest at any time and kill her.
"Please Tori," I whispered to myself. My whole body was tensed up as I watched.
Suddenly people started yelling her name.
She heard them and yelled back.
"KATNISS! JADE!" she called, looking everywhere for them.
Finally everyone found her. She handed the food to that boy Beck and sent the others back to camp.
Almost immediately after they were out of sight, Katniss hugged Tori tightly and told her to never do that again.
"Listen to Katniss," I muttered. It was scary for me too.
Jade hugged Tori too, and they were about to go back to camp when the district 2 tribute, Cato, and Foxface walked up to them.
"Oh my God," my mom whispered. I looked back at her, a mad look in my eyes.
I turned back to the screen.
Foxface said something I couldn't hear and sent a knife flying at Jade.
The next thing I knew, Foxface had an arrow through her neck and Tori had a knife in her chest.
Wait a sec.
Tori had a knife in her chest. IN HERCHEST. TORI.
"TORI!" I yelled at the top of my lungs. All I could do was watch.
The cameras zoomed in on the three girls.
The girls were talking, and suddenly Tori began to sing.
I remember my best friend, Alex, singing that to me before she left for the Games. It was I Hope You Dance.
After Alex died, Tori had sung that song to me every night until my mental state of health was restored to something close to normal. She had taken care of me.
When Tori finished singing, both Katniss and Jade were in tears.
The look on Tori's face could only be defined as defeat. She knew that she had lost this war.
"See you later," Tori said. Jade and I both let out a strangled cry.
"You know it," Katniss said.
Tori took one last breath and she was gone.
Tears flowed freely from my eyes. I wanted so badly to scream, to sob, to do SOMETHING to get out my feelings. Should have seen me last year when Alex died…anyhow, all I wanted to do was just…I don't know. SOMETHING.
Both my mother and I were in a state of shock.
My sister was gone. All these years I had annoyed her, bugged her, taken her for granted. She never deserved what I did.
And now I'll never get to tell her that. I'll never get to tell her how much I really loved her.
"Alex, you better take good care of her," I said, my voice shaking.
Mr. Harris
My wife and I watched fearfully as the group of children Andre and Amelia had formed an alliance with ran for their lives from a blazing fire.
Out of nowhere, a ton of fireballs began to rain down on them. They successfully dodged most of them.
Suddenly, a ball of fire headed straight for Amelia.
"No!" my wife screamed.
"AMELIA!" a young boy, who I believed was named Beck, yelled. Andre turned and jumped in front of Amelia. But not in enough time to get them both out of the way.
The ball of fire slammed into the both of them.
"NO!" my wife screamed again as she burst into tears. I held her in my arms as we watched the other kids get back to camp. Giving themselves only enough time to rid themselves of the poison in their bodies, they scrambled back to where Andre and Amelia lay.
They were burned beyond repair, and there was nothing they could do except reassure them that it would be alright.
Within two minutes, they were both gone.
Prim POV
Since Katniss had gone into the Games, Mother had stayed in bed 24/7. I took complete care of her while trying to keep up with the Games to see that nothing happened to Katniss or Peeta.
Gale doesn't even watch the Games. He only comes by to drop off game for me and Mother to eat. He is too afraid of something happening to Katniss or his old friend Beck.
So I sat alone in front of the television screen, watching. I had watched Katniss's reaction to that girl named Tori dying. I had never seen her cry like that before. I watched her reaction to Andre and Amelia dying.
It was now late at night, and sleep was out of the question. So I kept watching the Games.
Katniss and the others had moved down into a cave. Katniss set up some traps around the entrance to help ensure their safety from other tributes.
She and this other girl with bright red hair lie awake in the cave. I could tell the other girl was awake because she never moved around that much in her sleep before. And I could tell Katniss was awake because, well, her eyes were open. Its kind of obvious.
Out of nowhere she started crying.
The other girl heard her and crawled over to her.
"What's wrong?" asked the younger girl.
"Nothing…" Katniss said. Yeah right, Katniss, I thought. I could read her like an open book, and she was definitely not fine.
"I'm not stupid Katniss," said the younger girl. I remembered her name was Cat.
And something snapped inside Katniss, because she began to spill all of what was wrong.
She told Cat about me, how she missed me, how she loved me, how Andre and Amelia reminded her of me and her. "I just want her here!" was the last thing she said before Cat took her in her arms.
Katniss cried and cried and cried until she literally could not cry anymore. All the while all I could think was that I wanted her with me so badly right now.
"I miss you too, Katniss," I said, tears forming in my eyes.
After seeing Katniss fall asleep, I went to her bed and lie down. It smelled like her. It was comforting.
I began to sing quietly to myself.
"Deep in the meadow
Under the willow
A bed of grass
A soft green pillow…"
